QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive to seek to prioritise a joint approach with Fingal County Council in 2017 to seek funding from Government for the repair and restoration of the Silver (Metal) Bridge at Waterstown Park?"

REPLY:

The Silver (Metal) Bridge at Strawberry Beds/Waterstown Park is a Protected Structure in the ownership of Fingal County Council.  A previous examination of the bridge indicated that substantial costs would be involved for the required and restoration works.

Fingal County Council have advised that they will again examine the possibility of progressing this project and South Dublin County Council will support this including through progressing a joint application for funding from Government for the repair and restoration works as required.
